Beskrivning

Biopolymeric Nanomaterials: Fundamentals and Applications outlines the fundamental design concepts and emerging applications of biopolymeric nanomaterials. The book also provides information on emerging applications of biopolymeric nanomaterials, including in biomedicine, manufacturing and water purification, as well as assessing their physical, chemical and biological properties. This is an important reference source for materials scientists, engineers and biomedical scientists who are seeking to increase their understanding of how polymeric nanomaterials are being used for a range of biomedical and industrial applications.

Biopolymeric nanomaterials refer to biocompatible nanomaterials, consisting of biopolymers, such as protein (silk, collagen, gelatin, ?-casein, zein, and albumin), protein-mimicked polypeptides and polysaccharides (chitosan, alginate, pullulan, starch, and heparin). Biopolymeric nanomaterials may be used as i) delivery systems for bioactive compounds in food application, (ii) for delivery of therapeutic molecules (drugs and genes), or for (iii) tissue engineering.



  • Provides information on the design concepts and synthesis of biopolymeric nanomaterials in biomedical and industrial applications
  • Highlights the major properties and processing methods for biopolymeric nanomaterials
  • Assesses the major challenges of producing biopolymeric nanomaterials on an industrial scale

Shamsher S Kanwar is a Professor of Microbiology and Biotechnology and IPR Chair Professor at Panjab University Chandigarh, India. His career includes several notable fellowships: a 1998–99 Indian National Science Academy Fellowship studying tuberculosis epidemiology at CDRI Lucknow; a 1999–2000 SERC fellowship researching multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis strains at the National Institute of Mycobacterial Diseases, Agra; a 2005–06 Biotechnology Overseas Associateship examining HIV-Tat and drug abuse effects on neural cells at Kansas University Medical College, USA; and a 2008 Visiting Scholar role in stem cell research at the University of Minnesota. Dr. Kanwar's research focuses on microbiology, immunology, cell culture, and fermentation, with an emphasis on developing bio-products and bioprocesses, particularly for a range of extracellular microbial enzymes, as an alternative to traditional antibiotics and antilipolytic drugs. Currently, Dr. Kanwar is dedicated to the development of anticancer therapeutics through the exploration of microbial ribonuclease, cholesterol oxidase, and L-methionase. Ashok Kumar is an Assistant Professor, in the Department of Biotechnology and Bioinformatics, at Jaypee University of Information Technology, Waknaghat, India. His research areas are in enzymology, biocatalysis, biopolymers, enzyme immobilization, and bioenergy. Tuan Anh Nguyen is a Senior Principal Research Scientist at the Institute for Tropical Technology, Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, Hanoi, Vietnam. He received a BS in physics from Hanoi University in 1992, a BS in economics from Hanoi National Economics University in 1997, and a PhD in chemistry from the Paris Diderot University, France, in 2003. He was a Visiting Scientist at Seoul National University, South Korea, in 2004, and the University of Wollongong, Australia, in 2005. He then worked as a Postdoctoral Research Associate and Research Scientist at Montana State University, United States in 2006-09. In 2012 he was appointed as the Head of the Microanalysis Department at the Institute for Tropical Technology. His research areas of interest include smart sensors, smart networks, smart hospitals, smart cities, complexiverse, and digital twins. He has edited more than 74 books for Elsevier, 12 books for CRC Press, 1 book for Springer, 1 book for RSC, and 2 books for IGI Global. He is the Editor-in-Chief of Kenkyu Journal of Nanotechnology & Nanoscience. Dr. Swati Sharma (MSc, Dr. Yashwant Singh Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni Solan H.P. India; PhD. University Malaysia, Pahang, Malaysia) is Assistant Professor at University Institute of Biotechnology, the Chandigarh University Mohali, India. She worked as a visiting researcher in the College of Life and Environmental Sciences at Konkuk University, Seoul, South Korea. She has also worked as a program co-coordinator at the Himalayan Action Research Center (HARC), Dehradun, and Senior Research Fellow at the India Agricultural Research Institute in 2013-2014. Presently, Dr. Sharma's research is in the field of bioplastics, hydrogels, keratin nano-fibers and nano-particles, biodegradable polymers and polymers with antioxidant and anticancer activities and sponges. Dr. Swati has published numerous books and papers in various internationally reputed journals. Yassine Slimani is a Professor in the Department of Biophysics, at the Institute for Research and Medical Consultations, Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, Dammam, Saudi Arabia. His areas of research include materials science, chemical engineering, environmental science, biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology.
